Summary

Welcome to the Rising Tribes Podcast — where raw conversations meet real growth.

Hosted by two former professional athletes turned husbands, fathers, and high-performance leaders, this is the podcast for people who look like they’ve got it all together… but still carry the silent weight of pressure, expectation, and self-doubt.

We talk about what most people only think about — the stuff that lives in your chest and keeps you up at night. From marriage and parenting to sex, business, faith, fitness, money, mental health, and the quiet battle of “am I enough?” — nothing is off-limits here.

Alongside our wives and powerful guests, we’re building a tribe of everyday warriors who are deeply rooted in character and relentlessly rising in every area of life.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not self-help fluff.
It’s honest, bold, unfiltered conversation — with people who get it.

Because the strongest tribes don’t fake it. They rise together.

    Ep.41: Q/A Prime Habits And What They Cost

    Q/A about the habits that shape your “prime,” the kind of motivation that fades, and the practices that quietly compound over years. We get personal about marriage, fitness, faith, shame, and what it looks like to keep taking steps when life changes seasons.
    • redefining “prime” as who we are now, not just peak performance
    • losing the prove-them-wrong fire and looking for healthier motivation
    • chasing the excitement of the unknown instead of fear of being judged
    • prioritizing a spouse as a compounding life habit
    • fitness as a long-term engine for identity, business, and opportunity
    • being disciplined in the gym while other areas drift out of control
    • using alcohol to shut off an overactive mind and what that hid
    • dropping the spiritual scoreboard and building daily intention
    • “You will never be put to shame” as a turning point
    • celebrating our daughter’s baptism and what steady faith looks like in kids

    Ep. 40: Breaking The Habits That Are Breaking You

    We talk honestly about the habits that hold us back from becoming our best selves, even when we have big goals and good intentions. We unpack what success really costs, why perfectionism can stall progress, and how to keep moving when growth feels like drowning.
    • Why we should not model our whole life after one “hero”
    • The hidden sacrifices behind money, status, and achievement
    • Why copying what successful people do now fails beginners
    • The value of advice from someone just ahead of you
    • “Drown then breathe” as a career and leadership playbook
    • Skin in the game and why commitment changes behavior
    • Corporate learning versus entrepreneurship with real consequences
    • Amazon as proof that the first idea is rarely final
    • Our current bad habits, including time waste and no schedule
    • Late-night FOMO, social media research loops, and sleep costs
    • Perfectionism, shipping work, and GETMO good enough to move on

    EP. 39. Effects Of A 72 Hour Fast

    Three days without food sounds like misery until you realize the hardest part is not hunger, it is routine. Nick Urankar records a solo run right after finishing a 72-hour fast and tells the full story, including the moment the group challenge turned into a one-person decision. We talk about why fasting benefits go beyond the scale, how it feels once you pass the first 24 hours, and why “I just miss chewing” might be the most honest line you will hear about appetite.

    We also answer the questions people actually ask when they are considering a water fast or intermittent fasting: What can you drink while fasting? Is black coffee OK? Why do electrolytes matter? Is bone broth “cheating” or just a practical tool? Nick shares what he used, what he avoided, and why the goal is progress not perfection. Jake jumps in with insights on water weight, glycogen, mental clarity, and the bigger reason many people fast in the first place: giving your body space to recover and clear out what is not serving you.

    If you are thinking about weight loss, we cut through the noise. A 72-hour fast can drop pounds fast, but most of that comes back quickly, so the real win is the reset and the intention you bring to breaking a fast. Nick explains how he reintroduced food with a simple meal and why planning that meal ahead can keep you from undoing the work. We also cover fasted workouts, dialing back intensity, and keeping your focus on the long game instead of one dramatic week.

    What would you try first: a 16-hour intermittent fast or a full 24 hours?
